Why CP sell so exp bags?

[kensh09]

Lowepro stealth reporter 300 selling at $230++, where i can get $120 at mscolor . Wonder if the price is for tourist only.

 

[flash77]

$230++ , is it the tagged price on the bag itself or did you ask CP sales person for the price?
If it's tagged price, most of the time u have to minus 50% of it for the actual selling price.

 

[SkyLooker]

Did u check the price with CP staffs ? Usually is 50% off the tourist price ...

 

[winlow]

bo lah....
i bought 400aw for $146 niah leh....

 

[clizeer]

IF i not wrong, MScolor got its supply of Lowepro bags from Cathay.

 

[madmacs]

yup...cp sells lowepro bags at 50% off tagged price. for crumpler its 20% off tagged price.

 

[wcsiaw]

That's why.. it always pays to ask when you're shopping at CP.

 

[cast123]

is it a standard procedure that CP will reduce 50% off the tag price for local customer?

 

[jimtong]

Not only bag, even for those shelf item acc, you have to ask them to give a better price.

 

[wingless84]

just ask 'Best price?'
but yeah the Lowepro bags are all marked up 50% for foreigners to come and bargain down.

 

[John Teoh]

Sometimes, it is 40% to 45%. So please don't assume that they will give 50% everytime you ask.

Cheers
John

 

[hoekeat]

what if i send request for price via email? will that be after offer price or standard suggested retail price?

 

[scud]

yeah, price is minus 50% from the tag in CP.

I bought a Hoya filter last week, but only got 20% less :dunno:

 

[taiwanapurasteve]

It's always much less than the marked price. The bags I have bought there are usually 40-50% off the ticket price. Like John T said, don't assume it will always be 50% off.

Lowepro Reporter 650 was $178 after discount.

Was told CP items tag price are for tourist.
Just ask them for the best price even the item was tagged.
They will quote you the price for local customer..
No harm...

they didn't quote you a "tourist" price

I usually just take 50% off the tag price for lowepro. It's quite standard. For other accessories, it varies between 20-50%.

50% off is only for lowepro bags...think ard 20% for Crumpler bags
